On August 5,
1944, following a successful attack on Japanese forces just north
of Changsha, P-40 Warhawks of the75th and 16th Fighter Squadrons,
23rd F.G., are attacked by enemy Nakajima fighters and a massive
dog-fight has developed over the Hsiang Chiang river with aircraft
wheeling and turning in all directions. The action is set against
the distinctive, haunting landscape of Southern China, Robert's
panoramic canvas capturing all the atmosphere of a crucial aerial
campaign fought in the skies above a distant land so many years
ago. |
